Fascinating. Do you really believe a single tournament is the method by which college coaches decide to recruit a player? Or is a single tournament yet another recruiting opportunity -- as are CAP games, RIIIPL-East games, the region championships -- heck, even practices that these coaches attend if they're interested in a player. And that doesn't even begin to include ODP (if your kid is serious about higher level play.)
One division 1 coach walked up to me and told me about a kid as a sophomore that they'd been watching since eighth grade. I asked if this was normal; I was told that these folks track kids over a period of years (not just months.)I'm pretty sure that missing a single Disney tournament with a sprained ankle wouldn't have significantly diminished the interest.
